De-Anonymizing Tor

TOR has been all over the news lately - from embassy private data being pulled from an exit node, to an arrest of a node hoster. This blog post from the ha.ckers.org blog offers code that its creators say can be used to de-anonymize TOR users. The possibilities implied by this code were mentioned at Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen's presentation at this year's Black Hat USA in Las Vegas.
